Who was your pick to win the Big East this season? If you were/are a Big East coach, it was Creighton. If you were a media member it was Creighton. If you were a fan of the up and comers you may have gone with UConn. If consistent excellence is your thing, Villanova was probably your pick. Total lunatic? Marquette.
Now who is your pick? There is no reason for Xavier fans to not tip their own team to bring this thing home. There is a very long way to go before someone is hoisting a banner, but Xavier has taken the lead at the quarter post and has put some of the favorites to the sword already.
